Just another anti-gun, anti-NRA spook. Why do these guys turn on the rest of the gun owners in the US? I dont get it.

Busse is a former board member of BHA. Emphasis on former.

While he can think, say, or hold whatever position he wants to, he's not a representative of BHA in any capacity. Tying his current book to a policy position held by BHA is a pretty hasty generalization.
So what about Land Tawney? https://www.linkedin.com/in/land-tawney-a5272345

Why is he writing anti gun hit pieces?


I see that within a month of leaving BHA that punk Busse went to work for the rabid gun ban groups run by Giffords.

Why do both of these BHA leaders use their BHA executive titles to push gun bans?

remember this BHA hero Charles Post?


Simple question

Do you have a source/link to a Tawney anti gun hit piece? I clicked his linked in and didn’t see anything.

Charles Post is a grade a hipster, but what’s that got to do with BHA?

I’m completely unaware of Charles post having anything to do with BHA but he did help make a video for WSF, are you going to call them out on that?

For the record I think he’s hipster trash as well, but let’s keep it accurate

Got any sources?

The only complaints I've heard about them come from guys who don't go anywhere they can't get with an engine.
Might want to broaden your horizons then...I know probably a dozen former BHA members that have done a complete 180 on them. Talked to or been in discussions with MANY more. NONE of them are guys who can't get to where they want on foot.

Simple question

Simple answer: Dude's a Democrat. That's literally the whole thing.

From BHA:
  • BHA members are politically diverse: 32 percent of respondents identify as Independent, 25 percent as Republican and 16 percent as Democrat (17 percent responded “none of the above” and 10 percent preferred not to answer).

The group has people from across the political spectrum. Democrats are the minority, but there's still plenty of them. It's an easy easy issue to get people on both sides of the aisle to come together on (which incidentally used to be considered a good thing before like 70% of the people in this country were slowly devolved into slobbering morons by the 24 hour national news cycle).

Here's a short list of other things I, having never met Land Tawney or Ryan Busse, am pretty sure they might be for:

Socialized healthcare
Climate change legislation

Democrats are generally pro gun-control. Lots of Democrats who hunt think you should be able to have certain guns and not others. Or that everyone should have to get a background check or undergo training to own a firearm. It's fine if you don't think that. Just like it's fine if you think the free market provides better solutions for health insurance.

Democrats tend to favor gun control legislation. In other news the sun is hot and water gets you wet.

Wait just a second sir. You have the audacity to sit there and tell me that the entire point of an organization like BHA was to unite diverse socioeconomic and sociopolitical groups over a shared interest, that being public lands?

How dare you.

No, it’s to use the idea of public lands to create a never-ending source of income to share among a select few.

How dare them.

Yes, it’s the idea of public lands being owned and used by all Americans to create a never-ending source of income to advocate for those public lands and the hunters who use and rely on them. To prevent guys like Richard Berman and the corporations that fill his wallet from being able to sell them off for use by a select few.

How dare them.

What the hell does fify mean? Doesn’t anyone speak plain English anymore?
I'm much less concerned about plain English, metaphors, acronyms, etc. than I am those that continually talk out of their ass...

Sure, I guess people make money off of Public Land Owner T-shirts or whatever. I don't think it quite compares to the money mining interests make. Or the money that stands to be made via land transfers to states constitutionally obligated to sell holdings when they don't turn a profit. but what do I know?

You know what actually you're right. F*** T-shirts.
